Call for Papers: “New Tasks for Legal Interpreters and Translators in the Enlarged Europe”

On the occasion of the 4th General Assembly of EULITA this conference will be hosted by TEPIS (Polish Society of Sworn and Specialized Translators) in cooperation with ÖVGD (Austrian Association of Certified Court Interpreters) in Krakow, Poland, from 3 to 5 April 2014. Conference languages: English, German and Russian. In 2004, ten countries, primarily in Central and Eastern Europe, became EU members. Both the acquis communautaire and EU Directive 2010/64 on the right to interpretation and translation in criminal proceedings triggered major changes in the legal and professional status of interpreters and translators working in judicial settings. On the occasion of the Tenth Anniversary of the EU Enlargement, the Krakow Conference would like to provide a platform for judicial stakeholders and trainers of legal interpreters and translators to report about the main challenges and achievements of this past decade. Contributors are requested to send abstracts (max. 250 words) of their papers and short CVs to tepis@tepis.org.pl by 31st December 2013.
